Review by Sam
"Dennis is the fourth guitar teacher I have had over the past 8 or so years. As a casual guitar player signing up for Dennis' lessons, I simply wanted to e
njoy playing the instrument while also improving my technique. Having taken lessons with him for about a year now, I can confidently say that both of these goals have been fulfilled. My technique has definitely improved with Dennis more so than it had with any of my past teachers. Not only is he a good teacher, but he is also just an all around chill, good guy. I always look forward to my weekly lesson."

About Andrew
I began taking piano lessons when I was 7 years old, and continued taking them until I was 18. I learned a variety of different genres and playing styles, as well as how to read music, improvise, accompany a singer or other musician, and lead a group of vocalists. At 24 years of age I still continue to play regularly on my own and at my church as both an accompanist and soloist, and have been teaching piano for over 4 years.
I enjoy sharing my God-given talent with others and helping them learn a skill that has brought me so much joy. Sign up for your first set of lessons today!

About Saad
I am an aspiring singer, songwriter, pianist, recording artist and sound designer. i am currently studying at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
Students can expect to improve week to week in their technique. Every one has a ability to succeed; I teach students to release built up tension and apply foundational techniques in order to unlock their own individual sound. I can help any student to play with freedom, confidence, and expression.
I teach students of all different ages and experience levels. I can teach students to read music and pursue classical excellence, to learn how to play contemporary music using chord sheets, or both depending on the goals and preference of the student. I look forward to meeting you and helping you to become a better musician!

About Holly
Hi All,
I'm Holly - a well-traveled Midwesterner who has settled in the greater Baltimore area. My original areas of study were piano and painting - and I spent about 15 and 9 years, respectively, formally studying each. I left both fields due to unforeseen health issues and now work in the field of public health - going on 12 years. I enjoy it because of the blend of disciplines. I'm a life-long learner and love to hear about how others explore and develop their interests and stories.
Hope to help you along the way with your interests in the Piano :)
Cheers,
Holly
